I have been into tiki for a few years now. I just joined TC not to long ago. So I cannot say much about the activity increasing or decreasing on this site. What got me really into tiki was making tiki exotic cocktails. Buying Beachbum Berrys book and tasting how these drinks were meant to be made and the pure art of it. Tiki just exploded for me from there and I never looked back. Got my own tiki room now, making my own drinks and practicing mixology. So on this subject I will say this. There will be those that will just keep on being tiki and those that think tiki is neat. For some out there its just a trend. Like we all had trends growing up. I for one plan to keep on being tiki. Its my own little world which will never get old. Influences like Sven, Bamboo Ben, Beachbum Berry, and others are perfect examples of keeping on being tiki. There are alot Of great tiki influences out there. Those that have been on TC for awhile now and post alot of cool stuff such as tiki history, pictures, etc. I will continue to support TC and all my local tiki establishments. Mahaloz to everywone that is keeping tiki genuine.
